I was able to finish the cowl today. There was one part I couldn't figure out where to put. The translator didn't help so I guessed a bit. It's an egg shaped black disc that I think is supposed to represent the revised under cowl position of the exhaust. I think I'll need to build the fuselage before I can tell if it works there. I'll cut it off and improvise if it doesn't...

The front end formers require a bit of whittling and sanding for the correct curve, but everything ended up fitting pretty well.

Anyhow, here are photos of my progress so far. Next step is the main landing gear. I've never made airplane wheels before with paper, so this should be interesting.
